It’s great to have experts in your corner when it comes to keeping a key asset – your vehicle – working at the optimum level. But why is it so important to keep a close eye on the state of your wheels and what are the benefits that can flow from expert inspections?

Wheel alignment issues are a common problem for vehicles of all sizes and makes. Sometimes there are tell-tale signs such as your steering pulls to the left or the right. Or maybe your tyres are showing a pattern of uneven or bad wear.

Don’t worry, because we’ll get to the bottom of the problem with our comprehensive wheel repairs and servicing at our Geelong auto shop. Then we’ll find you a practical solution. Wheel alignment assessments and corrections help keep your tyres safe and wearing the way they’re designed to. This is good news for your vehicle’s suspension too, and for the longevity of your vehicle.

Causes of wheel alignment issues

What actually causes a vehicle to go out of alignment? The number-one trigger is hitting something hard with your tyre. Think deep potholes in the road, a kerb or gutter. But wear and tear of your suspension and front end components is another reason.

When it comes to getting behind the steering wheel, safety is paramount. We want to keep ourselves, our families and other road users safe. And having a balanced and well-aligned set of wheels is imperative for a vehicle to handle correctly and safely.

But if you feel your vehicle shaking or vibrating as you drive, then that’s a strong hint you need wheel balancing. Unbalanced wheels can take an unnecessary toll on your tyres, put strain on vehicle parts, cause vibrations in your steering wheel and impact your fuel economy. After wheel balancing by our team, your ride will be smooth again.

We take our job seriously at Geelong Tyre and Auto. We’re thorough, we’re efficient and we want to deliver the best result for our customers.

That’s why a test drive, steering and component check and wheel alignment inspection are carried out when you bring your vehicle to us for a range of services including puncture repairs. And if you get new tyres, we’ll balance your wheels as part of the service. You can also book in specifically for either service.

We strongly suggest getting your wheel alignment checked regularly. This stands to reason, because as your tyres wear over time, the alignment will alter. Regular checks allow for precise adjustments – keeping your car performing safely and efficiently.
